Plumbing Do's and Don'ts

Never try to fix a garbage disposal by putting your hand down into it. Even while turned off, the garbage disposal is still a dangerous place for your fingers. It’s advised to obtain a diagram, possibly off of the Internet, that depicts your machine in accurate detail.

If you want to look for floor damage around your toilet, just check the flooring for softness. Straddle your toilet and gently rock foot to foot to see if your floor feels a little weak or soft. You can save money by noticing and treating this problem as early as possible.

A strainer positioned over a drain can prevent stoppage by collecting food particles as they try to enter the drain. Clean debris from these strainers after each use. Bathtub drains should be cleaned regularly as well.

Water that leaves behind pink or orange tinged stains has an excessive amount of iron. A water softener can filter out unnecessary minerals, and leave you with clean, usable water.

Keep your bathtub drain running well by pouring a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain each month. Put a rag over the drain afterward, though, to keep the chemicals from coming back up after the reaction. Wait for a little while and then allow boiling water to go down the drain. This process should open up the pipes by clearing out hair build-up and soap scum.
